Reaction from readers after the Jaguars’ 34-20 loss to the St. Louis Rams on Sunday:

Only a fool would take points off the board and put the ball back in Gabbert’s hands. Please stay with Henne; at least he knows what color jersey to throw to.

Michael, Bryceville

OK Gus, you can stop with the whole “Mr. Niceguy” philosophy now. It’s not working. Time to stop telling us, the media, and “your” team that you see good things, and that you believe in our QB(s). Your approach is going to put more tarps on the stadium.

Jon, Jacksonville

Folks talk about our lack of an OL or not having good receivers. Does it really matter? When everything clicks, Gabbert can’t hit his receivers!

Bud, Brunswick, Ga.

Not only can we not score — we’re taking points off the board. Now we’re both incompetent and dumb.

Henry, Jacksonville

Down to one quarterback, might be time to hire one, I know one that’s available, just saying …

Cindy, Neptune Beach

Mr. Caldwell, drop the ego and get us a quarterback now. We don’t have one on the roster.

Don, Jacksonville

Time to change the team name to the Possums … because they play dead at home and get killed on the road.

L.J., Jacksonville

Just to let you know that the Chiefs are 5-0 and the Jags are 0-5. What makes the difference? You be the judge.

Ed, Jacksonville

Great idea, Shad. Bribe Jags fans with free beers instead of maybe trying to upgrade and get Josh Freeman. I don’t think Jags fans could get that drunk to enjoy a Jags game at this rate.

Karl, Jacksonville

Are all you Jaguar coaches blind? Why can’t you see what all the rest of the sports world sees that Gabbert is not now, nor will he ever be, an NFL quarterback. He is demoralizing the team and the entire fan base.

John, Jacksonville

I’ve been a Blaine apologist the past couple of years. But enough is enough. Let Henne or Stanzi finish up the year and wait for our new QB in next year’s draft. Otherwise, they are unwatchable.

Carlton, Jacksonville

How much worse could Matt Scott or Ricky Stanzi be?

Nicole, Orange Park

I’ve always said, if you want to at least have a chance to win and be competitive, use Henne. If you want to lose and look like a bad team, use Gabbert. Today was a good example.

Brian, Gainesville

It was obvious how the network avoided showing the empty seats all around the Rams’ stadium. Worse than the Jags attendance. Our fans show up; we are just waiting for the team to do the same.

Larry, Jacksonville

Mr. Khan, instead of wasting your money on the re-election of our governor maybe you could instead invest your money on us a real quarterback.

Cricket, Jacksonville

As difficult as it is to watch our Jaguars try and be competitive, it is heartbreaking to know that ex-General Manager Gene Smith is still getting paid millions of dollars for the deplorable job he did with our team. It will just take more time to clean out the historically bad job he did, but this new regime will do so.

Carol, Jacksonville

Thank goodness for the President’s Cup and the late NFL game.

Tom, Orange Park

I read Denard Robinson had played quarterback since his days in youth football. If you won’t give Tebow a chance …

Jackie, Jacksonville

As a season ticket holder the Jags are doing great. I give my tickets to my customers which are fans of the opposing team and usually I have happy customers.

George, Jacksonville

The GM said he could not envision a scenario where TT would be in Jacksonville. I seriously doubt Caldwell and Bradley ever envisioned this team in its current scenario.

Bob, Jacksonville

Blaine Gabbert has cost two head coaches their jobs. Gus, wake up before it’s three.

David, Jacksonville

The final was 34-20, but the Rams could have gone for another score in the final minute, which means the Jags are three touchdowns worse than the second-worst team in the NFL. Denver can name its score. Heck, I’d complain of a pulled hamstring, too.

Randy, Jacksonville

Please, Mr. Khan, cancel London. I am afraid they may think the Jax workforce is equivalent to the Jaguars’ ability to play football.

Attention "trujag" - Allow me to name TWO recent first round picks who are definitely worth the first round draft choice: Justin Blackmon and Luke Joeckel. This is a bad team. We knew that coming in. It's being "built" more than rebuilt; from the ground up. It won't be completed - as in being a perennial playoff contender - for at least another year or two. The most important piece of that puzzle is QB and there were no QBs worthy of the #2 overall pick last April. In this next draft there are going to be several worthy first round choices and it appears we will pick #1 or at the lowest still within the top 5. That's also when it'll be worthwhile to become truly active in the Free Agent market. To do so without a "Franchise QB" would be pointless. In 2014 you'll begin to see the fruits of this process. But first you - and all Jaguar fans - must allow the process the time to work.

Nobody likes to be told they'll have to wait. Immediate gratification has become the common plea. It's never worked and it never will. The Colts have proven what can happen when you find that special QB. We're next.

All fans understand that inexperienced players need time and practice...but after 3 preseason and now 5 games plus several weekly practices one would think there SHOULD be improvement in all areas. Sadly, just the opposite appears to be happening to the Jags... from bad to worse. From losers to laughing stock. Faced with over a decade of mediocrity, bad coaching, clueless management, and TERRIBLE first round choices there are NO fairweather supporters here, just misled and disillusioned Jaguar fans who continue to be sold "wait til next year" crapola. Name ONE first round draft pick over the past decade that was worthy of that selection. Bad draft choices, other teams questionable "castoffs" and a tight checkbook are dooming this franchise. Can it be recesitated? Climbing that mountain will take more than promises.

Every team's Offensive-Line is BETTER than OUR Defensive-Line. Every team's Defensive-Line is BETTER than OUR Offensive-Line.

Could we be THAT terrible at selecting players?
Could we be THAT terrible at designing plays?
Could we be THAT terrible at Calling plays?

Position for position, ALL of our players CAN'T be THAT bad.
The COACHING HAS to come into question SOMEWHERE. Perhaps Bradley is a good coach, but maybe he chose his "Buddies" to help him, and not the help he TRULY needed.

It's oh so obvious at this point. The Caldwell team has decided to tank the season and get a first pick. I don't know who could make a difference in this organization but they clearly want to sell out the season and go for getting the first pick. They were probably happy when Joekel went out. We need to stop with all the monday morning QB stuff. They are not trying to Win. Not not not. Anything can happen so we could win a game with this rag tag bunch but why ANYONE goes to these games is beyond me. Bad bad bad bad product. Terrible. The worst ever. Not worth the price of parking if someone GAVE you a ticket. Hopefully Johnny football will not be a bust.
